The Club and the Clubhouse are meant to be shared by all members for their mutual enjoyment. To ensure that this can succeed, Members are kindly asked to follow a few basic “housekeeping” rules and general etiquette.
In the Clubhouse
Please refrain from:
- Putting coats, sports bags and sports equipment (racquets, footballs etc.) on the tables. Instead, please use the coat racks (located just outside the bridge room). If you need to bring your sports bags into the main room, please place them under the tables.
- Running in the Clubhouse
- Coming into the Clubhouse barefoot
- Wandering into the Clubhouse and on the balcony in your bathing suits
- Playing ball games in the Clubhouse and on the balcony
- Smoking in the Clubhouse, changing rooms, bridge room, etc. These, together with the swimming pool area, are designated non-smoking zones. This includes electronic cigarette devices
- Coming into the Clubhouse in muddy shoes or dirty tennis shoes
- Coming into the Clubhouse with pushchairs or prams (they must be left downstairs)
How you can help: in the clubhouse and in the gardens
- The Club is essentially a self-service establishment. Please return all glasses to the bar and all dirty crockery, cutlery and all BBQ kit to the kitchen. Don’t hesitate to ask for a damp cloth to wipe down your table, leaving it pristine for your fellow members.
- Replace baby highchairs after use
- If you happen to break something, please inform the staff and offer to help clear.
- When bringing in your own food, a levy will be charged per cover for the use of club cutlery and plates. A corkage (droit de bouchon) must be paid for each bottle drunk on the club premises.
- Once you have finished your meal, leave your table for other members and close the umbrellas
- No personal music that could disturb other members
At the Swimming Pool
Please refrain from:
- Smoking
- Eating and drinking in the pool area to help keep the wasp population to a minimum (water in plastic bottles is allowed). This also applies to baby food.
- Playing ball games in and around the pool
- Using voluminous inflatable lilos or similar in the pools
Children under 14 must be accompanied by parents or a designated adult.
The small paddling pool is for the exclusive use of children aged from 0-5 years.
How you can help:
- Vacate your pool lounger when you leave the pool area for any length of time
- Adults have priority for the loungers
Footwear and dress code
It is important that Members use appropriate and authorised footwear on the tennis courts, squash courts, fitness room, etc.
Shoes must be worn EVERYWHERE ON THE CLUB PREMISES (except the pool area) and no wandering in bathing suits outside the pool area.
Children’s Facilities
First and foremost, parents are always responsible for their children when they are on Club premises. Children should not just be dropped off at the Club without a parent or other designated adult being in charge of their welfare and behaviour. Children are more accident-prone than adults, but you can help keep the Club a safe place for them to play.
Please ensure:
-
-
- Children always wear shoes in the Clubhouse and on the balcony.
- Children don't run in the Clubhouse
- Children don't play in and on the lift
- Children don't play ball games in the Clubhouse and on the balcony
- Toys have been returned to the Children’s room and put away
-
Tennis Courts
Please remember to:
-
-
- Respect the white dress code
- Wear proper tennis shoes
- Drag the clay courts after playing
- Water the clay courts if necessary
-
Snooker Table
Snooker should not be played without the table light being switched on. This works on a jeton basis. The machine is situated near the back entrance to the kitchen. Due to the table height, young children are not allowed to play. Children between the ages of 12 and 16 are allowed to play, but under the responsibility of an adult. Children under 12 cannot use the table.
Guests
Many members like to bring their non-member friends to the Club. That’s great, and they are always welcome. We also appreciate that you may not want to complete the formalities of paying for your guests in front of them. However, please do sign them in immediately. You can return discreetly to the front desk later. If there is no one at the desk, please pay at the bar.
Bikes
Bikes should not be brought in by the front door. You should leave them in front of the back door, come in the front door, walk around the clubhouse to open the back door and leave your bike on the racks provided
Opening times
The staff cannot stay overtime (if not organised) and the club cannot remain open without staff.
They have to clean the bar before they leave, so please clear your tables at least 15 minutes before closing time.
